Default Bird Launchers

Just wondered what type of launchers you folks use?
I train alone quite a bit & I use the Bumper Boy Products
I use 2 of the derby doubles & have worked out quite well for bumpers.
Would still like to get the duck baskets & try them
The reason I went with these are the compact size anyone else use these?

Didn't have good luck with the bird baskets. I sold mine and purchased three magnum 2000's from www.oriondogsupply.com . These units can throw large bumper or ducks. Take a look at them before you buy bird baskets. You can handle three on an atv and set up unlimited marking drills or tests. They use tritronics or dogtra remotes and you don't have to use blanks, they are spring loaded. If you are doing upland training they will flush live birds, but be ready to shoot quick!!! Good luck and God Bless.

If you are into this kind of thing you could look into building your own.

Khancock Thanks for the reply on the bird baskets I went with the bumperboy system because of the compact size I do not own a atv & the launchers you use are to large. I live in Chicago & finding places to train that are less than 45 min. away are geting harder & harder to find
